Description
===========
The Compaq RoamAbout network adapter is a device that provides connectivity
between stations in a wireless LAN. A station is any portable computer (such
as a mobile PC, laptop, notebook computer, notepad or hand-held scanner), a
PDA that is equipped with an ISA card slot. Using direct sequence
spread-spectrum communications technology, the network adapter brings the
benefits of wireless connectivity to users of stations.
Features
========
Supports the two major types of spread spectrum wireless
technology known as direct sequence and requency hopping
Enables peer-to-peer communications between desktop PCs in a
wireless LAN -- no wired infrastructure needed
Includes point-to-point diagnostics and node diagnostics --
allows for verification of communication paths and optimal device
positioning
Requires no external power supplies
Supports in-building roaming -- continuously access the wired
network
No FCC license required
2 Mb/s LAN throughput
Auto-connect automatically connects network adapters to a Compaq
RoamAbout Access Point providing relocatability without reconfiguring
stations in environments where Access Points are present
Frequency select provides the ability to set the network
adapter's frequency to any 2.4 GHz channel (subject to national
regulatory availability). This enables more efficient management of the
on-premises radio spectrum usage and better protection against
interference.
Compliance with European (ETS), USA (FCC), Canadian (ISC), and
Japanese (MPT) requirements
Direct-sequence, spread-spectrum RF technology
Reliable Bit Error Rate transmission of 10 -8 or better
Typical RF output power 15 dBm
